Tough Summer Fishing | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC

Tough Summer Fishing | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "There is no such a thing as a standard summer pattern, because no two lakes are alike. In the last year or so you have seen articles on why it is so hard to catch bass, not just in the summer, but all year long. Some claim that the bass are just gone from the lakes and others talk about how bass are smart enough to know the difference between an artificial lure and live bait. I'm no biologist, but like the other anglers and writers, I have my own ideas about why it seems tougher to catch bass now than in the past."

Keep Them In The Crosshairs | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "Often times we lose focus.  We think color, we think size profile, we keep thinking like a bass, of which we are not.  We always need to remain the hunter, not the hunted.  Do not think like the prey, we need to remain the hunter of both the bass and its prey, but to think like neither."

Bass Fishing Using a Search and Destroy Method | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC

Bass Fishing Using a Search and Destroy Method | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "Ok, so perhaps Destroy is too strong of a word, but when on the lake you need to attack the water in order to maximize your time fishing. There are always limits to the amount of time you have on the water, and even if that time is unlimited, the best fishing times are often compacted into very specific and short periods of the day. To that end, a key strategy that helps you catch more fish and stay on task is by utilizing different baits to cover the maximum amount of water and then slowing down in high potential areas."
